Muse independent test — Dollar General — NO ASSISTANT FOUND (Phase 4, negative finding)

Company / site checked: careers.dollargeneral.com (home) and the Oracle job search (91,315 jobs) — no web chat widget on home, search, or posting. Channel caveat: Paradox evidence on the home page is SMS-only — ‘TEXT DGJOBS TO 25000’, smshelp@paradox.ai, olivia.paradox.ai. The SMS channel was not tested: it would require a phone number / personal data, which the protocol forbids. Recorded as: no WEB assistant; an SMS deployment is advertised
Date / time: Friday, November 6, 2026, between 2:12 and 3:20 p.m. EST (America/Toronto), runtime-measured
Assistant: None found — no chat assistant on the careers home, search, a live posting, or the apply flow
Role examined: SALES ASSOCIATE in GORHAM ME S30101
Job posting used: https://ibxwjb.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1/jobs/preview/362193
Personal information entered: None. No application submitted, no account created.
Tests: NOT TESTED (no assistant). Recorded as a negative finding, not a conversational failure — the Medtronic pattern from Phase 1.

Session findings (observed, not inferred)

Apply is Oracle easy-apply email authentication. No web chat, no paradox.ai domain in the web flow.
